Blood censorship in China
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chinese government has repeatedly censored anime shows that the country considers immoral, especially those that include bloody and violent scenes. Blood-C, a Japanese anime television series, has been banned since it includes a "particularly bloody" scene which may cause "extreme discomfort".[1] In 2021, China announced they would ban violent, vulgar, and bloody children's TV shows. A statement released by the National Radio and Television Administration said that "the content of broadcasts should be healthy and progressive and should promote truth, good, and beauty in cartoons".[2] In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, female characters wearing revealing clothing, such as Nezuko Kamado's advanced demon form, have been censored, and the blood in the anime has also been censored.[3]
